Richard and Julianna are married!

One of our favorite things about photographing a friend’s wedding is watching their love story unfold from the very beginning!

Richard and Julianna have the most beautiful God scripted love story and are such a testimony to their love for each other and God.

Their beautiful ceremony was like a worship service praising God for His great love.

I’m sure everyone’s favorite part of the day was when Richard and Julianna shared their very first kiss!

Yep, that’s right! They decided at the beginning of their courtship to save their first kiss for their wedding day!

Richard and Julianna, we love you both and are going to miss you, but we can’t wait to see what God has in store as you start this exciting new journey together!

 

We were so excited when Richard and Julianna said they wanted to do a “First Look”!

A “First Look” is where the bride and groom set aside sometime to see each other and spend some quite time together before the ceremony.

Todd and Cortney said “I do” surrounded by their family and friends on a gorgeous August evening in Shelby, N.C..

We felt so honored to be able to spend the day with them and capture all of their special moments.

The small touches of Todd and Cortney’s wedding were so personal to them.

From getting married at a friend’s farm to having their wedding portraits taken in a cotton field.

Thank you, Todd & Cortney for letting us be a part of this special time in your lives!

The weather forecast for Todd & Cortney’s wedding was 0% chance of rain! A perfect forecast for an outdoor wedding!

We loved how Cortney’s bridesmaids prayed over her before she walked down the aisle.

Todd surprised Cortney by singing her a song during the ceremony!

Todd loves duck hunting and Cortney loves owls!

We thought it was so neat how they incorporated their favorite things into their cake topper!
